told a friend in good faith that he had discover
ed how to save on his butter bills. "Just spread
your bread with butter" said he, then scrape

WHILE some worBmen were opening a sewer
in the back cellar of the Ship Hotel in Dublin,
the other day, pickax struck upon curious
box or casket covered with rust, and very
strongly locked. The box, which is about 10
inches in length and IL in height and width, is

color that viii go with almost any face or com
plexion.n II thought purple was hard color
to wear" said a reporter to whom the lady was
talking $50 is is, but the slight cast that turns
il into heliotrope changes its effect entirely as
the shading does in green. However, everything

the popularity of the perfume"
